The 2020 Star Trek SDCC Guide

While we may not be able to all come together in San Diego this year, fans from all over the world can still join in on San Diego Comic Con. This year's event will be entirely virtual, with panels taking to Youtube and Zoom instead of Hall H, and exclusive products being sold online instead of on the crowded showroom floor. All in all, getting to enjoy all the excitement of Comic Con without having to leave the house seems like a good deal to us in 2020!

Even without the convention hall to navigate, the SDCC schedule can be a little overwhelming. Luckily for Star Trek fans, we have a handy guide to all things Trek available at this year's at home con — from show panels to con exclusives!— below

Get ready to boldly go into the latest Star Trek series with this panel! Featuring the casts of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Picard, this panel will explore past seasons and look ahead to the future of the shows. The panel will be moderated by Deadline's Dominic Patten and will include a live read of a Discovery season two script, an exclusive look at Lower Decks, and a discussion of what the future might hold for the cast of Picard. This is one panel you won't want to miss, so mark your calendars for July 23 at 10 am PDT.

Libation consumption on Star Trek is a bit of a recurring theme, which made Factory Entertainment wonder what cadets at Starfleet Academy would use to open their ales, Romulan or otherwise.
